            When <code class="constant">GL_HISTOGRAM</code> is enabled, RGBA color components are converted to
            histogram table indices by clamping to the range [0,1], multiplying by
            the width of the histogram table, and rounding to the nearest integer.
            The table entries selected by the RGBA indices are then incremented.
            (If the internal format of the histogram table includes luminance, then
            the index derived from the R color component determines the luminance
            table entry to be incremented.)  If a histogram table entry is incremented
            beyond its maximum value, then its value becomes undefined.  (This is
            not an error.)
        </p><p>
            Histogramming is performed only for RGBA pixels (though these may
            be specified originally as color indices and converted to RGBA by
            index table lookup).
            Histogramming is enabled with <a class="citerefentry" href="glEnable"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glEnable</span></span></a> and disabled with <a class="citerefentry" href="glDisable"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glDisable</span></span></a>.
        </p><p>
            When <em class="parameter"><code>target</code></em> is <code class="constant">GL_HISTOGRAM</code>, <code class="function">glHistogram</code> redefines the current
            histogram table to have <em class="parameter"><code>width</code></em> entries of the format specified by
            <em class="parameter"><code>internalformat</code></em>.
            The entries are indexed 0 through
            <math overflow="scroll">

                <mrow>
                    <mi mathvariant="italic">width</mi>
                    <mo>-</mo>
                    <mn>1</mn>
                </mrow>
            </math>,
            and
            all entries are initialized to zero.
            The values in the previous histogram table, if any, are lost.
            If <em class="parameter"><code>sink</code></em> is <code class="constant">GL_TRUE</code>, then pixels are discarded after histogramming;
            no further processing of the pixels takes place, and no drawing,
            texture loading, or pixel readback will result.
        </p><p>
            When <em class="parameter"><code>target</code></em> is <code class="constant">GL_PROXY_HISTOGRAM</code>, <code class="function">glHistogram</code> computes all
            state information as if the histogram table were to be redefined,
            but does not actually define the new table.
            If the requested histogram table is too large to be supported, then the
            state information will be set to zero.
            This provides a way to determine if a histogram table with the given
            parameters can be supported.
